ROLINE Cat.6 UTP Patch Cable, Class E, PoE, 1m, Yellow

The ROLINE Cat.6 UTP patch cable is a high-performance networking solution engineered for reliable data transmission in modern Ethernet environments. This Class E cable provides a stable connection for various network components, ensuring consistent signal integrity and minimal interference. With its 1-meter length and vibrant yellow color, it is designed for efficient cable management in both home and professional office setups.

Advantages

This patch cable offers robust performance by meeting Cat.6 standards, which allows for high-speed data transfer rates suitable for demanding network applications. The inclusion of Power over Ethernet (PoE) support makes it a versatile choice for powering devices like IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points directly through the network cable, reducing the need for additional power supplies. Its unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction ensures flexibility and ease of installation in tight spaces.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to wall outlets or switches
• Linking routers and modems in home networks
• Powering PoE-enabled devices such as VoIP phones and access points
• Organizing network hardware in small office environments

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for outdoor use or environments where it will be exposed to moisture, extreme temperatures, or direct sunlight, as it lacks specialized weather-resistant shielding. Additionally, it is not suitable for industrial applications requiring high levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection, where shielded (STP/FTP) cables would be necessary.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6 (Class E)
• Cable type: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Length: 1 meter
• Color: Yellow
• PoE support: Yes

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of your network device until you hear a click. Ensure that the cable is not bent at sharp angles or stretched beyond its physical limits to maintain optimal performance. When connecting PoE devices, verify that your switch or power injector is compatible with the required power standards.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length for your specific setup to avoid excess slack
• Check if your network hardware supports Cat.6 speeds for optimal performance
• Ensure that the yellow color meets your cable management or color-coding requirements

Usage recommendations

For the best results, avoid running network cables parallel to high-voltage power lines to prevent potential signal degradation. Always ensure that the connectors are clean and free of debris before insertion.
